Discover the Southern Peru dunes, perfect for sandboarding!

The south of the country has impressive dunes ideal for visiting and practicing adventure sports like sandboarding. Sliding down its sands on boards, enjoying its imposing dunes, and feeling generous doses of adrenaline is an incredible sensation.

Visiting the south of the country is an opportunity to appreciate natural environments and engage in adventure tourism. Among the most spectacular dunes in Ica is the largest dune in South America, Cerro Blanco Dunes (located in Nasca and measuring 2080 meters), and the Great Dune, also known as “Cerro Marcha”, due to the sound the wind makes as if they were trumpets.

Data:

  • Cerro Blanco rises 2,087 meters above sea level in the Nazca Valley.
  • The "Cerro Marcha" is located in the district of Vista Alegre in the province of Nazca, department of Ica. The city of Nazca is located 455 km south of Lima.

Recommendations:

  • For this excursion, it is necessary to wear light clothing, especially if the excursion is during the summer months (December to March), where the average temperature is 35ºC during the day.
  • It is recommended to wear good hiking shoes and medium-thick socks.
  • Likewise, it is advisable to bring water, a hat, and sunscreen.
